I cannot pin point the reason but clicking the links feels so weird in desktop, like a mousestart event or something

Love this, it was very clear and fun to read with the simulations!
This looks amazing. Congratulations on the launch.

I was hoping to find Ben's Digital breadboard clock [1] in there, I'm currently building it!

> It doesn't work as a self-hosted service

Sorry but it doesn't work with your current architecture, but it is in fact possible to have the same functionality even within a network/VPN/Tailnet, or with your own domain, like all self-hosted apps do.

How is someone "aggressively pro AI"? This is the first time I read such concept.
I was looking for something like this yesterday. I've found that most models are unable to do caribbean accents. \How does this model compare?
Did you explore client-side for the presentation, and just do the collaborative part use a backend? Your backend doesn't really need to know whats on the screen to draw, nor to sync the slides, in my unverified opinion.

Looks good so far. I maintain a SaaS that hosts this for you, the amount of lessons I've learned to scale this up were very fun and others frustrating.

I also use whatsmeow but had to add some layers for tenant isolation and resource manangement. I was able to come up with an image as little as 30mb and full control over the resources - uses as little as 60mb of RAM.

There was a feature I loved that while playing in shuffle, you could highlight a song and it would play next. I couldn't do it in this version. They nailed the clicking sound.
Thats a funny honeypot idea, just like the hidden field which still catches a lot of bots
No, you didn't. I misread.
Okay, my bad. I didn't know he was not participating in the embargo.
I hope this is bait because that's not how it works.
I do this + caveman and my allowed usage lasts longer.

Bravo. We finally have a clear example on what not to do.
Concerns the 8 compromised certificates. I thought it was a new CVE and I almost drop my lettuce.
Be my guest :)
I realized until I started this one, there is a whole community around recompiling again.

Noting that the mermaid preview in the playground is broken.
Cool examples, this is interesting to test. I've noticed that OpenAI and Meta play a lot with animations and fades to mask the delays.
These are pretty well written, got drawn to a couple of them.
Nice wrapping, I've been setting it up like this with email providers for a while.

I started doing it to catch leaks, and yup, it works.

Since we are all building our version of this, what mistakes did you made until you arrived to a well-balanced solution? I really like that you know how much an issue is, because then you can start optimizing.
I used to order drinks like this when the bar was full
